Ernie Banks Autograph

[etsmith]

I was thinking of purchasing this Ernie Banks autograph and thought I'd see if everyone here thinks it's authentic. It's not authenticated but there is at least one other autograph that looks like it on eBay from around the same time period. So does everyone think it's authentic?

Granted the specimen is from 1980 but I have never seen a Banks letter B in that style.

I checked PSA and the example on eBay, and it appears this style of autograph is from the mid 1970's to the early 1980's. PSA has a couple on documents so I'm pretty sure it's real. I wish more athletes would date their signatures. You should check out the exemplars on PSA, I'm not sure that all of them are authentic but at least one of them looks like it was signed with Ernie Lombardi's style "E".

Thanks everyone, I'll probably go ahead and add it to my collection. His autograph has had a lot of variation over the years, so a dated autograph seems like a good idea.
